Three months after the fall of Washington D.C., the planet is a hellish battleground for an all-out war between prehistoric undead forces and the scattered remnants of the living. Billionaire William DeKirk, now ruling the last vestiges of civilization, is human no longer, but rather an unpredictable rogue driven by a noxious blend of primordial virus and modern day sociopath. He deliberately spreads the zombie plague across the world and deploys his dinosaur-human army to destroy survivors or coerce them into pledging allegiance to his undead flag.

But the resistance movement has its own plan to hit Ctrl-Z and undo the zombie apocalypse. Alex Ramirez, Special Agent Veronica Winters and Major Casey Remington have placed their last hope to restore civilization in a zombie antidote developed at great cost in the utmost secrecy. In his darkest moment yet, Alex must confront the grim reality that the only way to defeat a monster is to become one himself. Jurassic Dead 3 is a sequel to the first 2 books in the series, which should be read in order:

Praise:"JURASSIC DEAD is a wild collision of modern SF and oldschool horror. Over the top, inventive and scary fun!" -Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of FALL OF NIGHT and V-WARS"Sakmyster and Chesler have crafted an taut, explosive zombie novel with Jurassic Dead. The characters are three dimensional, the plot gripping, and the action non-stop. The worst part of the book were the words The End on the last page. Because I wanted more. -Phillip Tomasso, author of THE VACCINATION TRILOGY and BLOOD RIVER

A new street drug on American shores is already claiming victims up and down the West Coast. A potent new form of methamphetamine called Red Ice is being produced and used not by an ordinary criminal gang, but a unit of North Korean Special Forces soldiers with a plan to reignite the Korean War on American soil.

Enter OUTCAST (Operational Undertaking To Counteract Active Stateside Threats)--six ex-operatives from six of America’s most powerful organizations. Each has been unceremoniously released by their respective former employer for alleged misdoings that leave their pride wounded but their essential skill-sets untouched. After uniting over their shared bond of dismissal from the nation’s most elite outfits, the disgruntled spooks realize that they can work together like never before to take down threats to their beloved country, a country that branded them as outcasts but needs them now more than ever.

As they wage an all-out war on the North Koreans and their Triad allies through the streets of San Francisco, OUTCAST is hell-bent on showing America that their way isn't the best way--it's the only way.

Red Ice is Book 4 in the OUTCAST Ops series. Game of Drones is Book 1. The Poseidon Initiative is Book 2. African Firestorm is Book 3. They can be read in any order.

OUTCAST Ops: Red Ice is a #kindle exclusive release at this time. Regular price is $3.99 but is available free to Amazon Prime subscribers.

The sequel to JURASSIC DEAD, JURASSIC DEAD 2: Z-volution, by Rick Chesler and David Sakmyster, has been released by Severed Press. #kindle link above, paperback edition coming soon.

After the discovery of a dormant zombie virus in preserved Antarctic dinosaur specimens, billionaire visionary and megalomaniac Melvin DeKirk proceeds with his plan to unleash a zombie-dinosaur army upon the world, starting with Washington D.C. The U.S. military struggles to prevent the contagion’s spread and to defend against the onslaught of prehistoric monstrosities as all-out war breaks out between the living and the dead. However, DeKirk has even farther-reaching plans. Modifying the virus to allow for greater control, he intends to impart upon himself all the benefits of zombie-ism—near indestructibility, immortality and immunity to attacks of other zombies, including the dinosaurs, which he can now direct at will. Nothing can stop him from eradicating civilization as we know it, except possibly returning heroes Alex Ramirez and Veronica Winters. The unlikely pair must rescue the one scientist who may hold the key to arresting the zombie apocalypse, a CDC expert trapped in a besieged Atlanta office. Can they secure the antidote and turn the tide before the plague reaches its full potential, or will the planet return to the dominion of its long-extinct masters and a new tide of undead humanity?

When pirates hijack a container ship off the coast of Somalia, a sinister plan to cripple the U.S. presence in the Persian Gulf and precipitate a war is unleashed. Two North Korean nuclear warheads being smuggled to Iran are the centerpiece of an ISIS plot to distract the world's attention. If they succeed, thousands of people will die in nuclear fire and the world will be at war.

Knights who act as a secret combat squad for the Vatican, defending mankind
from supernatural threats and enemies. The books — Infernal Games and Judgment
Day — go together as two parts of a whole, with Judgment Day picking

The second, the piece de resistance of the entire bundle, if you will, is
Mortal Threat, the latest military thriller from retired brigadier general A.J.
Tata. I can't think of a better way to round out a bundle like this with a
novel like that!
